Did a quick animated loop to celebrate @hearthstone.blizzard.com's new Violet Hold expansion! Maiev's going to have her hands full for a while.

Most charitable explanation would be "We land a handful of robots that can turn moonrock into concrete and 3D-print some crude infrastructure."

A screenshot of your post went pretty viral over on Twitter as well. Congrats on being thrust into the top of the spear? >_>

Yeah I tried adding a bunch of new things to hammers (screwdriver on the back? Doubl- headed hammer? Speed spoilers with stripes?) and it didn't help much. Which is why my company, HammerCo, is going to stop producing hammers.

Can’t wait to show you the rest — part of a longer thing I’m working on with the brilliant @stephanesia.bsky.social and @willbits.bsky.social !!

Bluesky should show this to more people. Or.... wait, maybe not actually

Another #IndieAnimationDay already? I'm pleased to report that I've completely finished my animatic for Act I of the #Minitaur pilot and am now making sets, props, and shots! If you're an animator or especially a voice actor please follow along as I may need help there soon!

A test render in Blender from the pilot of Minitaur! Four Adventurers--Gwendy, Lin, Vance, and Maladrax--car pool to an exciting dungeon raid!

Oh I meant, like, the atmosphere exploding but you’re right that it would turn into more work and not more leisure

Sleeping an extra hour kinda nice, we should slow the rotation of the Earth just enough that every day is 25 hours. I’m sure that would be fine and have no adverse side effects.

Oh shoot I was supposed to pull this down actually, and I guess I didn’t notice it was still up over here. >_>

All this 3d modeling and rigging has been great but sometimes it's great to just get back to some good ol' sketchy 2D thumbnail boards while you're plotting things out.

Horse flu? No, horse run on ground.

WillBits @willbits.bsky.social · 25/08/2025

It’s rare that I get these! Also on a lot of shows things get re-edited and rewritten so much that you don’t often get it one to one like this. LSS had very, very few rewrites, so more energy was spent on cleaning things up and “plussing” the acting.

WillBits @willbits.bsky.social · 16/08/2025

I'm finally in full production on Minitaur! A fantasy / comedy action adventure starring the tiniest minotaur, who is officially getting a full length pilot!

WillBits @willbits.bsky.social · 02/08/2025

Rigs are coming along nicely! I am definitely not used to tails and digitigrade legs but got some IK versions going that I'm happy with and think are going to be very easy to animate!

Having worked for him directly that, uh... brings up some conflicting feelings lol.

Bento's just pushin' everything overseas indefinitely it seems. With TGN's renewal status being in question, Bob's is kinda their *only* show not being totally outsourced now, yeah? And I bet even that could change.

Y'know I could go either way on this. I definitely used to be in the "don't show anything until it's done" camp, but I'm increasingly in the "nah just post it and repost it" lane. Your key supporters will watch it each time, and it'll keep finding new people each go 'round.

Almost time for adventure! Finished up the rigs for Vance and Lin, two characters from my indie series, Minitaur! Made in Blender. . . . #blender #blendercommunity #blender3d #b3d #minitaur #indieanimation #indiecartoon #animation #characterdesign #fantasy #greasepencil

Simple hair rig! I don't want it to add secondary action dynamically but I still like having a little automatic gravity that I can adjust as I see fit.

WillBits @willbits.bsky.social · 22/05/2025

90%, eh? So they want to make it 100% cheaper except all our money goes to some tech bro's abandonware that makes unusable slop. (And then they want to pay us to fix it same as always but now the budget's all gone somehow)

WillBits @willbits.bsky.social · 22/05/2025

"Cal-Arts style" as used by John K was more in reference to how "Disney-fied" everything was at the time, more closely resembling their features. It was co-opted later by Twitter discourse to mean "Bean-face" and ladder teeth as a ubiquitous style for children.

WillBits @willbits.bsky.social · 18/05/2025

Totally, love it for keeping realistic characters in scale and getting to play with dynamic poses / angles

Hey #indieanimationday. I’m making a goofy three minute short in Blender, and I hope to make more things like it. Subscribe to my Patreon for updates and check out a few sneak peaks below. www.patreon.com/coreybarnes?...

Drawing all this in Blender with just some block-outs for proportion ref is really great to see, what a cool work flow.

You think everyone should meet and then meat?

You're gonna have to be slightly more specific I fear

Little lighting test! Definitely was not ramping up the conflict enough up in here.

New Blender model! The Duke needs just a few little finishing touches but for the most part she's rigged and ready to go. #b3d #minitaur

It's funny, they tried to "become TV" with YouTube channels but they just kind of threw a bunch of money at celebrities and when it wasn't an instant success gave up immediately. Nobody wants to go to the trouble of fostering genuine grass roots talent, tragically.

When the rigging is going extremely well

Easing back into some Blender, so here’s a quick character block out! Still lots to do

Why are the new crop of AI comics so *brown*? I appreciate that it's doing it so consistently as it makes it much easier to spot at a glance, but it's like they're intentionally adding an artificial filter to make everything look like an old scan.

I've always hesitated to buy a permanent ToonBoom license because I know it's gonna keep getting slightly higher versions every year but there's now a pretty good argument that the ideal investment point is whatever version is immediately before this stuff all gets added.
